Are the Target Exclusives over?

I see a Sharc here and there and a Striker even fewer times... Houston

About a week ago I saw them at the local Target (Roseville, suburb of Twin Cities). Not HISS tanks, but the AWE and the SHARC. They are always at endcaps near the checkout though, not in the toy aisle.

Here all of the exclusives (The Joe, TF and SW) disappeared weeks ago. The weird thing is they had tons of TFs and SW figures and they just vanished and never went clearance here.

they are over, i talked to the manager of my local target when they were taking the display down, and he said it was a short run kind of thing and that it was over they were not getting any more. we to had tons of the dumb star wars and transformers exclusives left and i guess they were going to clearence since the display was coming down. another case of either the retailers or hasbro shorting everyone on supply. i was told by the manager that a "dealer" and he knew the guy was a dealer came in everytime they restocked them and bought every one. matter of fact this same guy hoards up all the figures at my target to, he had the audacity to leave an add for his dumb internet site stuck to the gi joe peg. his store is called "C-9 COLLECTABLES" if you know this guy i would not buy from him as he is scalping and ripping us all off. I found out the same guy was buying up all the figures from our tru as well from the manager and that he was trying to buy them a case at a time when they came in but the manager said they put a stop to that because he said they were not a wholesaler. Back on point the targat vehicles are appearantly over which leaves me asking the question, will these be really hard to come by now since they had a "VERY" short run of about 2 and a half months

my target took down the isle display, it had a few vehicles on the day before, the lady said that "the display is over", they didnt even put any leftovers where the figures are.. so who knows... I guess they are done?
but i did hear a rumor of more target vehicles in the near future.

The only one I ever wanted was the striker...and it was the only one I never saw. Way to drop the ball, Target.

who knows, maybe the limited run aspect will mean these will be worth more in time.
in my case, they simply returned the left over exclusives to the back of the store. i had to check the aisle price checkers to find them still in stock and ask to get them.

Maybe a small ray of hope. Yesterday, my Target had restocked their Star Wars and Transformers exclusives that came out the same time as the Joe exclusives. plus they had their new exclusives as well. No Joe stuff, but maybe Hasbro might restock them as well.

Doubt you'll see a restock. The Star Wars exclusives were made in a much higher quantity, and - this might be debatable - were probably in lower demand.
